What's Picking?
The 2026 summer fruit season has now finished, much earlier this year than usual.
Check back here next year to find out more about which crops are ready and when, so you don't miss a berry.
What's picking now
| All fruit | Finished for this year |
- This pickometer tells you which fruit is ready today and how easy it is to pick (only shown during the fruit season).
- One berry = you need to look under the leaves to find the fruit; five berries = very easy picking.
- The pickometer can change daily. We recommend you check on the morning that you plan to visit.
